would bavo boeu a very happy ouo
but for one great drawb ick.
Bob bad given a mortao for a
po.tion of tho pnrchaso money, and
f-everal times be b id ruhod euough
togcthor to pay it ; but just then
Lis boRettin temptation wouM ovor
come him, aud the raonoy, inHtoad of
going to caicol tho debt which lay
liko a load on Mary's heart, and
bung like, a shadow ovor ber home
would be worse than wastod.
In tbe course of time and business
this mortgage came into tbe bands
of Didmos Uodd. From him Bob
knew it would bo useless to sook in
dulgence, even bad bo felt froe to
ask a favor of Didymus Oodd a
humiliation at which bis own. as well
as Maiy'a prkle revolted.
Wilh that wil' aud earnestness
which had so often before carriod
Bob to tbe verge of success, and
Deeded only perseverance to assuro
it, tho required sum was ouco more
accumulated.
'You may trust me this time,
Mary,' said Bob, with a parting kiss,
tbe morning bo started to town to
carry tbe money to Didymus Dodd's
lawyer, who bad poBsossioa of tbe
mortgage.
With a fervent prayor that be
might not be led into temptation,
iary returned ber husband 'a kiss,
and went about her daily cares, fill
ed with anxiety for what tbe day
might bring forth.
Bob folt brave and strong till be
came in sight of tbe cross-roads tav

turned bis head toward his accustom

demon of irresolatioo took possess

enforced separation, and was on the
point of reluctantly ruouuuug bis

him to alight for a short rest.
"Ueresanice cool plaoe among

Bob was ia uo mood to bo unsoci

soon seated side by side on a log, as
cosily as .General Jarion aud tho

by way of preface to a good gulp.
A gurgling groau escaped uiin.

A coufuaod buzzing filled his ears. A

Tho robber wus afraid to ventnvo

Soon a river intsreepted his flight.
It was swollen by recent rains, and

Days after, tho body of a drowned
man was found whore it had boun
born by the curront. Tho features
were past recognition, but it was
identified by the garments as that of
Bob LiuJsey.
Toor Mary was heart broken.
With all Bob's faults or rather in
spito of bis ono fault she loved bim
dearly. And wbou tbo funeral was
ovor, she sat down in her desolute
homo, aud mourned aud would not
bo comforted.
Wbon Bob awoko from bis stupor
and discovered the plight be was in,

it is impoHbiblo to desenbo bis re

"I can never look Mary ia tho

Clothing himself, porforce, ia tbo

But at last a change came ovor bis

The man tjreamod that bo stood
in space, faco to faco with a groat
clock, that slowly bent ont tho sec
onds of a miserable exislenco. The
face of tho clock was'as the ghastly
faco of doatb. Tho bands crawled
ovor tho face like tho worms of cor
ruption, and crawled slowly on to
ward tne midnight hour. Every
tick of tho clock was tbo splash of a
great drop of blood in a pool
of gore. Kvery splash of blood
sprinkled bis bosom with hidooas

tho slain, aud bo found that bis
hands, too, wero rod like his bosom,
and like tho pool of blood st tho foot

clock cropt on to tniduight.
Thoro shut in around bim a hot

midnight.
